Look on the bright side folks,

I haven't seen/touched/heard my baby since May 13th last year. No telling what the bill will be when/if I get it back.

The 2V rockers are far more robust. As with everything they will wear out eventually, but nothing like as quick as the 4V.
Oil feed is better and the chroming seems to be of better quality.

Main problem with 2V rockers, that causes them to wear abnormally is valve clearances. Spec's are tight and if they are done too tight the rocker gets a hammering.

Nigel,

Honest answer is "I dont know", but I reckon one of the other guys will ..

Good to see you on the boards though, hope you are well mate.

I'm fine thanks for asking suffering from Visordown overload a bit

No rockers in mine either.

Mind you since we went to Motul valve clearance adjustment and rocker replacement has fallen noticeably.

Hello Boys and Girls,
not been on the forum for a long while - bike has been in storage since last May due to major renovations on the house....
Alf's in Worthing has my SP3 right now....just replaced three rockers that was about £210 plus vat plus labour - plus major service, belts, new battery, 10 hrs labour....sitting down?.....900 quid.

Hopefully going over to Alf's this weekend to pick it up - Nigel, how u doing? Alf has an open day this Saturday..maybe see u there!
Gary-g, a fellow Shoreham resident...nice one.

Hopefully get my arse out on the bike some day.....
